Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks have secured the screen rights to two WikiLeaks books; WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy by Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding, and Inside WikiLeaks by Daniel Domscheit-Berg, Julian Assange's former colleague.

The Guardian reported last year that a US embassy memo released by WikiLeaks reveals that diplomats or representatives from 14 Arab states gathered in April 2007 and voted to ban all films and other products related to Spielberg or his Righteous Persons Foundation that made a $1m donation to Israel during the 2006 conflict in Lebanon.
